more sound options.

[Nemisis]

If I leave the 'effects' on default, then the siren, my engine, and other players fire is way too loud. If I turn it down, I can't hear my own gunfire, or other engines or all that good stuff helpful for GV'ing.

I wish for the return of the individual sound volumes.

[gyrene81]

Are you wanting an advanced sound control panel?

I'm not holding my breath but it would stop me from having to create custom sounds.

i think we should just bring back the old sound preferences
the only argument ive seen against it was "its not new guy friendly" but its never seemed complicated to me
not to mention it has a big "MASTER SOUND" option at the top, im pretty sure anyone can figure that out

The change wasn't just because it wasn't easy to use for new players, they needed to update the sound system because they plan on adding new sounds in future updates and to give better sound.  Miles Sound by far is better than the old system in terms of sound and resourse utilization.  The Miles Sound system taxes your system less than the older sound system and those with onboard sound will benefit the most from the switch to Miles.

I believe the actual argument against it is thee will are plans individual sounds for any myriad of things in the future.  German 30mm vs. American 30mm, Goodyear vs Pirelli tires....

Part of what's going on with the sound change is to greatly expand the number of sounds in the game.  Doing that and retaining individual sound controls is just not feasible.  I don't know of any other games that are setup that way.  

We are going to have to make some adjustments to individual sounds and try to find a happy medium on different sound volume levels on different setups.  Aside from that, custom sounds still work so you can always put in a different sound.

Individual adjustments for all sounds would be ridiculous in the amount of adjustment possibilities.  Possible hundreds of sliders.

There is a thread in "General" that tells how to get rid of individual sounds altogether.  http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,293186.msg3735809.html#new

OK, then at least let us turn down the engine and siren noises. For the love of god please  .

There has already been a fix posted on how to get rid of the sounds you don't want, wrongway already posted the link in one of his reply.  Of course, you probably won't do it as it would entail you doing something for yourself for a change.

Burn.

And I haven't seen how you modify the sounds in that thread. Maybe I'm missing it. If someone informs me how to do it, then fine.

[The Fugitive]

I just love all these "THE SKY IS FALLING !!!!" threads and complaints LOL!!! The update has been out what, 10 hours LOL!!! Give it a chance already !!

HTC has already said they will be doing some tweaks to the sounds. Jeez give it a rest already.

[Ack-Ack]

See RUle #4

One thing your going to have to remember, the playing field is now the same for everyone.

No more getting a bit of advantage by turning engine noise off, so you could here the enemy coming,etc.

Its a level playing field, like it or not.

The effects and enviorments sliders work fine for reducing noise so you can hear yourself think, or hear people on vox.

I suspect we are just scratching the surface of what the new system will let us do however.

Give it some time.

Playing AH has always been about adapting to change. And hopefully, always will be.

LOL, that would entail some form of adult restraint instead of the child like behavior people normally use around here. 

[Nemisis]

So sorry Ack-Ack, but at 9:00PM, I don't have time to go digging through a thread.

I personally don't give a damn if you don't like me, or what you think of me.

Not quite.  It is probably even easier for the millions of AH2 players that "game the sounds" by simply lowering the effects slider.

Most people just want to keep what hearing they have left.  I'm sure HTC will fix at least some of the issues.
